NiceHash's head of marketing Andrej P. Škraba told the Wall Street Journalthat an estimated 4,700 bitcoin were taken from the company's bitcoin wallet.
One thing to note: as the value of a bitcoin continues to go up, so, too does the value of the heist. As of post time, the value of a single bitcoin has surpassed $15,000 (with prices on some local Korean exchanges already topping $19,000), meaning the value of the heist has, for the time being, surpassed $70 million.

As Mashable's Stan Schroeder has pointed out, though, even as skepticism builds about a potential Bitcoin bubble, the cryptocurrency biz has exploded and it's unlikely that it will go away any time soon.
